Hello Jim,
As the rest suggested, I'd go for NASM too. It's plain and easy to get
ongoing. It was my favourite when I wrote a couple of ASM utilities like
APPEND.
The drawback is that once you get used to it, you start reading assembly
written for MASM or TASM and you happen to find a different

Hello Jim,
I started learning assembly with 32-bit x86 Intel syntax (Windows),
and it is easier to understand a flat memory model rather than all the
segment-register addressing and some limitations of registers
usage/combinations.
Anyways, when it comes to real mode 16-bit DOS, the best way to
In the early 90's, i learned assembly on DOS using the A86 assembler and the
book Using Assembly Language by Allen Wyatt. It was enlightening to use the
D86 debugger to step through other code, including the code in the BIOS ROM.
The IDA disassembler came in handy later on.

What assembler do you recommend, and where is a good place to start
learning about DOS assembly
I wanted to let everyone know that I'm planning to (finally!) put the
new website "live" in the next few days. This is the updated version
of the website that I've shared via email several times over the last
year or so. The "test" version of the new site is here, if you want to
preview it:
Thank you, and a Merry Christmas to you and your family!
